Apprenticeships provide the chance to 'earn and learn' in a wide range of jobs and sectors and give you the chance to develop skills, experience and qualifications.
Apprenticeships are offered in jobs as diverse as accounting, construction, engineering and floristry.
There are currently three levels of Apprenticeships: Intermediate Level Apprenticeships (NVQ level 2), Advanced Level Apprenticeships (NVQ level 3) and Higher Apprenticeships (NVQ Level 4).
There is also another scheme called Foundation Learning, which is focused on the individual development needs of those not yet ready to enter an Apprenticeship, further education course or work.
